Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you different?

In an industry positively bogged down with bias and behind the scenes wheeling and dealing, we are here to provide your business with an objective and totally reliable resource to search hosting vendors. We're transparent and if we do say so ourselves, refreshingly blunt. Learn more about what makes us different
here.

Why did you start this site?

To give SMBs the ability to make decisions with respect to their hosting requirements more efficiently. When you use our search tool, it will take you less time, less resources and give you a better fit. This will reduce expensive switching costs in the future and let's not even get started on the potential disruption this may cause. We're a search site focused on hosting vendors that's all about transparency and relevancy. We like being different.

How are you compensated?

We are paid by completed contracts from some vendors while others pay per click, however there's no link between the search algorithm and our compensation. Our results are objective and we work our hardest to include as many vendors as we possibly can. No easy feat, but we're working on it day in and day out. We are matchmakers and believe we have done our job if we've made a good match.

What are your rankings based on?

Rankings are based on many factors including, obviously, the relevance to your search but also that all too important social component that is built right into our search hosting companies tool. Our social component goes way beyond just having users rate a vendor using a starred system. We use a number of social components that results in a system that, in our opinion, will be hard for anyone to manipulate.

Why should I trust you?
